Windows 11 General Discussion

Space Lynx · Jul 27, 2021

unless I can sell my current work laptop for around $200 (8th gen intel i3, 250gb evo SSD and it has a tpm 2.0 module in it, windows official tool thingy said it could be upgraded to win 11) its 720p touchscreen small laptop I use for work and work only... but my company I work for has a discount and a good one... on macbooks... I can get the newest macbook for $749ish.

but if I can't sell it for that, I am just going to upgrade it to win 11 and forget that plan. my guess is i won't get that much for it, so eh we'll see. I could see that m1 chip macbook lasting me a solid 8+ years though. there are a lot of famous youtubers I watch who still use 10 yr old macbooks for their video editing. which is mindblowing to me. but eh

And that will be enough of that. This is NOT a Windows bashing thread nor is it Linux or Apple discussion thread.

Thinking I'll wait til Win11 hits final and the OpenShell folks do an update. To be honest, 11's Start Menu is not crap, is useful and will tide us over til final.

I actually prefer the new start menu to the win 10 type.

That was what I was comparing to. I still prefer OpenShell by far.

I used ClassicShell back with Windows 8 and 8.1 never had an issue and the original developer did a great job. Sadly he annonced back in 2017 he stopped but it's avaliable as Open Shell: http://www.classicshell.net/

Here's how you revert Windows 11 UI (to mostly-working Windows 10 UI): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell\Update\Packages] "UndockingDisabled" = (DWORD)1

sry for misunderstanding tho!
i try it with other words.

apple has its justification, of course. i can't find anyone in the graphic or creative field who doesn't use these pcs and swears by them. i've known dozens of people. i'm always sitting in front of it, perplexed as the ox in front of the mountain.
But you buy an apple ready-made and unfortunately you can't assemble it the way you want or simply replace parts.
that is the comfort that many appreciate! i am not one of them!
i have no idea about linux at all. all i know about it is that servers work great with it.
i am a windows child from the beginning

anyone an idea how to reroll, not to win 7 startmenu, i want my win10 back?!

Deleted member 24505 · Jul 27, 2021

I love the way classic shells icon just covers the win11 start button like a patch, pirate like :laugh:

This is an interesting read re- start menu replacement anyway

yeah im trying, but alas it seems misaligned
Edit : yeah its borked, button size doesnt work past "0" and align doesnt work eithier

Ill stick with this,

theFOoL · Jul 27, 2021

Hmm I don't have the skills but I assure someone here could edit the images of the start menu to align to hide the actual start menu when left pinned. The images just need to be slightly to the right

I had to screw with it a few times... reboot... mess with it more and finally the start menu came up. This windows is more like linux than ever! Except with a shit ton more telemetry....
In the openshell menu select this, and you may have to do it twice or so for it to stick:

I love it how they misaligned their overlayed start icon on top of the regular start icon.

Same with this:
